Thing #23

I am all about collaboration and giving credit where credit is due. Those two ideas are kind of what Creative Commons is all about. I looked at Dr. Wall's 23 Things page and found this text that shows that the activities that Dr. Wall had outlined were based off of someone else's work. Please see below:

"Learning 2.0 - 23 Things for Teachers is based on Learning 2.0 - 23 Things, a staff development program for the Mesquite Independent School District. That program was based on the Learning 2.0 program that was designed by Helene Blowers and adapted by the California School Library Association and others. Content and style for Learning 2.0 - 23 Things for Teachers has been borrowed and duplicated with permission, under a Creative Commons License."

I have done a bit of research on Creative Commons and I believe that it could be a huge asset in the classroom. People can share ideas and tweak the ideas of others as well. The collaboration that could take place truly knows no bounds. As a side note, I really like the idea that the lawyers don't have to get involved in Creative Commons. :)
